Tommy,
Love the podcast. I've just put my wood shop back together after keeping it in storage for a few years, but space is a major problem. Imagine a band saw, table saw, router table, drill press and jointer in a 9 x 11' room along with my furnace and hot water heater!
Anyway, seeing your show on tuning planes inspired me to purchase my first block plane -- a Lie Nielsen low angle rabbet. I've seen the light and want to buy a smoothing plane next. Besides the greater satisfaction, I'm thinking that working more with hand tools will help solve my space and dust issue.
Can you tell me more about how you use your planes as an alternative to sanding? What types of planes and scrapers do you use to prepare your projects for finishing? I assume you use a cabinet scraper after you plane? Do you still use sandpaper after that?
You can imagine what happens I fire up the random orbital sander in a 9 x 11" room. I'd like to be done with it and send the damn thing to Al!
Thanks for your help,
Kevin |
